This website aims to give a taste of the Arts Opportunity Theatre which ran in Bristol from 1981 to 1988. We also want to help preserve surviving AOT material, at least in digital format for future generations.

There are pages dedicated to the two main shows produced by AOT - Freedom City and Black & White In Colour.

There is also a Timeline page, which gives the dates for shows and other important events. There's quite a lot more work to be done on this.

We hope to add pages for Arts Freedom Theatre (AOT's professional off-shoot) and the tours of Germany, Jamaica and Kenya.

I am happy to prepare CDs of the music tracks if you want physical copies of these precious memories,

and if you can help provide memorabilia, please get in touch:
